Not really a spoiler, but here's a New Avengers #2 teaser:

Let me be the first to say, New Avengers #1 rocked my socks. (Even though it wasn't really an Avengers comic. )

Nothing happened in New Avengers one except Electro taking the power out in the city and freeing prisoners... wow.

Haven't read it, but Electro was in the first issue and Carnage is in the second one? Seems like a Spider Man comic to me.

Since I don't know anything about it, can anyone pass along some info? Who's the creative team? Was it relaunched?

The mere appearance of

rocked my god damn socks off.

I haven't gotten my copy yet (I get all my stuff mail order, so I'm always several weeks behind), but IIRC:

New Avengers brings together Captain America, Iron Man (I think it's someone new in the suit though), Spider Man, Spider Woman, Luke Cage (Power Man), The Sentry (never read that series so I don't know a thing about this character other than that he's supposed to be incredibly powerfu, but inexperienced), and Wolverine.

Brian Michael Bendis is the writer and he seems to have some creative ideas. He wants Spider-Man to be seen as more of a veteran hero character that the others can look up to since the character has already gone through so much, and that could also be why there's Spider-Man villains showing up, to give Spider-Man this image early on.

I don't know how true this is, but I also heard that the line-up is going to keep changing; some are saying not to expect Wolverine to stay in the book for too long. Bendis said he didn't think Wolverine was an overused character because *HE* doesn't read the X books. Right Bendis, that makes a lot of sense.
